Not to mention the fact that apparently up to 300 votes from the Bray area 
were apparently invalidated due to the polling officer failing to correctly 
mark the paper.  I'm not sure what happened in the end - but if they hadn't 
counted and Mildred Fox had lost by a handful of votes she'd probably have 
good reason to feel agreived.

Thats one thing electronic voting will definitely fix.
